I was thinking more in line of what apcupsd does: it runs as a daemon,
talks to UPS (and puts wall message about events like power loss...), and
executes command to cleanly shut down the box if less than (whatever % of
battery juice you configured to start clean shutdown at), and will issue
command to cancel shutdown if power returned after shutdown started
(sometimes you can do it...). And I usually don't need to do any
configuration (using GUI or command line utility) of the UPS itself... so
after initial configuration of apcupsd I never get back to it. And, BTW,
if you have half of a rack behind one UPS, you can set apcupsd on one
machine to talk to UPS, and on other machines set apcupsd to talk to
apcupsd on "master" machine making all of them aware, and act as
necessary.
